August 5, 2008 – Arden Hills, Minn. – Infinite Campus is pleased to announce a strategic alliance with ShoutPoint, Inc. for high availability and redundant interactive voice messaging services. Campus Messenger with Voice, powered by ShoutPoint, delivers automated voice communication with unrivaled flexibility and performance when dialing critically timed and emergency phone calls on demand.

"This partnership will give Infinite Campus customers the ability to distribute voice messages without the need for additional costly hardware investment or long distance charges," stated Dan Orlando, Infinite Campus Manager of Strategic Alliances. "With this alliance, our customers will be able to leverage the power of multiple domestic routing centers and the responsiveness of ShoutPoint’s large volume capabilities to distribute emergency messages within minutes."

 

Although Infinite Campus customers will have the ability to use ShoutPoint’s interactive voice infrastructure for mass emergency messaging, it can also be used for day-to-day voice communication needs such as attendance dialing, behavior incidents and other district-specific notices.

"The partnership provides dedicated ports and new emergency capacity on demand to make voice calls and allows Infinite Campus customers to prioritize all emergency traffic when needed."
 

Portions of the new service may qualify to receive E-rate funding. This service will be offered to Infinite Campus customers in the 2009.2 release expected December 2008.
